Our country has seen a rapid growth of municipal solid waste generation, which requires proper treatment. Therefore, there’s a great need for professionals special in municipal solid waste treatment, which makes the course of Municipal Solid Waste Treatment necessary for undergraduate students majoring in Environmental Engineering. Municipal Solid Waste Treatment is one of the main special courses offered to students whose major is Environmental Engineering. Through learning of this course, the students could grasp basic treatment technologies of MSW, e.g. pulverizing, composting, incineration, pulverizing and etc. In order to keep up with solid waste treatment nowadays, it is necessary to develop this course to improve teaching effects. Firstly, this paper described the current conditions of this course. Secondly, it offers a construction plan in adjustment of the course teaching content, enrichment of teaching methods and teaching mode, preparation of test database and exercise database and suggestion of ways to increasing teaching effect of this course.
